Which of these two laptops should i buy?

[Mario15xX]

The laptop will be mainly used for gaming(DOTA 2,WoW,Skyrim,CoD,Assassin's Creed,Tomb Raider,Bioshock Infinite) and some programming(CodeBlocks).I know a desktop will be a lot better at this tasks on the same budget but the computer will be used by my family too so they insisted to get a laptop. In the country where I live I found two suitable laptops:

HP Probook 450
15.6" HD LED Display
Intel Core i5-3230m
4 GB DDR3 RAM
750 GB HDD
AMD Radeon 8750m - 2GB

ASUS X75VB
17.3" HD LED Display
Intel Core i3-3120m
6 GB DDR3 RAM
750 GB HDD
nVidia GT740m - 2GB

I know that these aren't gaming laptops but they are the best within my budget.I only hope the games will be playable on medium settings at native resolution.

So which one should I get?

P.S. I am new here and this is my first post.Sorry if there are any mistakes.I hope I will receive an answer soon.

You should be able to make a decision now. The games you want to play, won't.

Actually the HP reviewed there has Intel HD 4000.I know the GT 740m is a little better than the HD 8750m but I am afraid of the Intel Core i3.Will it be a bottleneck?

What is your budget BTW? I agree with Mario15xX that an i3 might hinder your performance.

My budget is around 500 euros. But in my country(Macedonia) the selection is very narrow.I asked the reseller if they have the ASUS X75VB with an i5 but they don't.

I'm not quite sure what sites ship to your country to give you a confident answer. Don't they charge customs on electronics?

I think there are some people that actually buy laptops and bring them overseas to sell them for a good profit. Sad to see at this day and age computers in certain areas are still so expensive.

Actually none of the well known sites ship to my country.We are also on PayPal's country blacklist and yeah it's sad to think that with the same money you can get a better product in other countries but that's it and I can't do anything about it.

I am going with the HP because of the i5. I watched some youtube gaming videos on the Radeon HD 8750m and they get good FPS on the new games.

Dell 3537
i7-4500u
